Hmmm, seems one of the secrets of excellent hainanese chicken rice is to use ... ice cold water! bbG plunged the chicken which had been boiling in a big pot, into ice water for about 5 . Seems this would stop the cooking process and tighten the skin! It worked :-)
Lovingly rinsing the chicken with ice water :-)
Bring on the chicken rice chilli sauce ...
